Warning with searching with .ppt - not the best use of technology of simply sharing Power Points. A good example though was a Jeopardy type game on the Constitution.
Benefits:
Create lessons in the interactive whiteboard software, use again later - easy to change
Idea for great feedback on papers - remove names and exchange with another class period. Students had no problem with editing knowing that the author was not in the room. Then saves it as a jpeg and emails it to the student.
There are shufflers in the software that can be used for classroom management - groups, time limits, etc.
Great for projects - "one stop shop" for all of the presentations, i.e. Animoto presentations
Value of the board when it is in the classroom all the time; not something to "sign out"

I created my presentation in Keynote. Conversion to PowerPoint resulted in some skewed formating, but the links should still work.
Here you go!

Three levels of interactive whiteboard use:
1. Entry level usage
move from whiteboard to interactive board
2. Next level - pulling resources in and getting the students to use the tools
3. Third level - board to create lesson content, used Activstudio, SmartNotebook, RM Easiteach
Teach presentation skills - it's a life skill.
Give students the power
Some students may still create Power Points, but some will create digital storytelling, animoto, VoiceThread, Photo Story, etc.
Abilitiy to save and return - capture a lesson (difference between the regular whiteboard and interactive whiteboard)
